If you remember back when we shared the Birdsong Sweater, then you'll be delighted to see that Manja Vogelsang has just released a new design, the 'Hamborger Veermaster Troyer', knitted up in our own Pip Colourwork. Inspired by the Hamburg port close to where Manja grew up and named after the sea shanty sung in Low German, the sweater uses Pip Colourwork in Eccup for the main colour and Yorkstone for the contrast colour.
